We LOVE this pizza shop. There are lots of fun toppings too like house-made sausage, mole pizza with pickled onions, pesto pizza, etc. Vegan and gluten free slices too! You can buy slices at the counter, or sit down in their restaurant and have some beers too! Very kid friendly.

One of Jonathan Gold's 99 Essential Restaurants in Los Angeles for many years.
"The famous dish here is, of course, the huarache, a flat, concave trough of fried masa the approximate size and shape of a size-12 sandal, mounded with beans and tough, thin shards of grilled steak or chile-red nubs of marinated pork, a layer of shredded lettuce and strata of grated cheese and Mexican-style cultured cream. If you are up to the challenge, you can get it piled high with the cabeza, rich, gelatinous meat from a cow's head, cooked down into an ultraconcentrated essence of beef with the consistency of refried beans. Don't miss the burning-hot huitlacoche quesadillas — fried turnovers stuffed with musky, jet-black corn fungus — made on weekends by the stone-faced woman who mans a fry cart outside the entrance." - Jonathan Gold
